A FOOTNOTE to last week’s Guardian article on Border Force operations.
Getting back to Manchester recently, we, and it seemed several thousand others, found ourselves in a 45 minute, increasingly disorderly, queue.
Far from speeding up the process, the ePassport barriers worked only erratically.
The marshalling of the queues was incompetent, hostile, threatening any reasonable complaints with police action.
Welcome to the contradictory face of underfunded, digitalised fortress UK.
